Scandinavism and Nordism are political ideas that supports cooperation between the Scandinavian and/or Nordic countries.
Nordism is a movement that in many ways is similar to Scandinavism, but also includes Finland, Iceland and the Danish territories Greenland and Faroe Islands.
Modern Nordism and Scandinavism has played a part in the close cooperation among the five Nordic countries, examples include the Nordic Passport Union, the Scandinavian Airlines System and the Royal League.

 NOTES Page 5
This "Scandinavism" is referred to in the poem by the words "to the North," "his course," and similar expressions.
It was the name given to the sense of kinship of the three Northern peoples and the desire of closer union, whether in spiritual or material or political relations.
But the end of the war of 1864, and Germany's victory over France in 1870-71, destroyed the hopes of political Scandinavism, and thereafter it became rather cultural and practical, at least until 1905, when Norway's full independence of Sweden led to emphasis on individual nationality.

Scandinavism is a political movement with origins in the mid-19th century that support the idea of Scandinavia as a unified region or even a single nation, based on the common linguistic, political and cultural heritage of the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
The movement received a blow from which it never fully recovered after the Danish-German war over Schleswig-Holstein, when the Swedish government refused to jeopardize its future by joining in an alliance against the rising German power on the continent.
Modern Scandinavism has resulted in close cooperation among the three Scandinavian countries, see the SAS or Royal League etc.

After establishing itself as one of the Great powers in Europe during the 17th century Sweden would ultimately loose its foreign dominions one by one, culminating with the loss of Finland to Russia in 1809.
The 19th century spelled political union between Sweden and Norway, and the rise of Scandinavism, which unsuccessfully strived to once again unite the three Scandinavian countries into one kingdom.
After World War I ended in 1917 Finland emerged for the first time as an independent nation and the perspective of a Nordic community was able to replace the dream of a united Scandinavia.

 Øresundstid - 1800tallet
Thus Scandinavism had a new political undertone, but it was mainly a South Scandinavian movement, while Uppsala mostly focused on the relationship with Finland and Oslo was sceptical with regards to a continued affiliation with Sweden.
It is not wrong to claim that the strongest supporters of the Scandinavistic ideas were the academic circles in Lund and the Øresundsposten in Helsingborg.
When the absolute monarchy fell in Denmark in the revolution year of 1848 the possibilities of Scandinavism increased and the new king of Denmark Frederik VII, had, like his Swedish colleague, quite a different view of Scandinavism than that of their fathers.

7 Politics: Scandinavism author Paulus Diaconus joined in the criticism of the Fennoman movement in 1872, when a rhetorical question was posed by a peasant member of the Finnish parliament.
The peasant parliamentarian referred to the often-mentioned claim that Finland was in debt to Sweden for its western civilization and he asked if anyone could show him the original promissory note of this debt.
Kola Peninsula In response to Scandinavism, some Norwegian scholars of the 19th century resisted the idea that Scandinavia had a shared heritage and stressed the unique aspects that unit Iceland's cultural output exclusively with Norway and make it separate and unique.

This was due to Scandinavism, which began to flourish soon after 1844.
Towards 1870, however (i.e., after 1864), Scandinavism lost its force, and the pure flag began to be used within Norway more and more.
The real conflict began in 1879 with a motion in the Storting on February 17 to reënact the flag-law of 1821.

He was the soul of the organizing labor that accompanied and conditioned Norway's surprisingly rapid material advance in the decades before and after the middle of the nineteenth century.
A friend of Scandinavism, in politics a liberal conservative, but never a party man, he was member of the Storting for Christiania from 1842 to 1869.
Schweigaard's personality contributed most to the high esteem in which he was universally held; his character was open and direct, actively unselfish, loftily ideal.

Geographically the Scandinavian peninsula includes mainland Sweden and mainland Norway, and also a part of Finland, while the Jutland Peninsula includes mainland Denmark and a small part of Germany (Denmark has not included any territory on the Scandinavian Peninsula since the middle of the 17th century).
The three countries that form the core of Scandinavia came to be viewed as a single political and cultural region during the height of the nationalist movements in these countries in the middle of the 19th century (Scandinavism).
The region takes its name from the peninsula, which in turn is thought to be named after the historical province of Skåne (Scania in southernmost part of Scandinavian Peninsula, in Sweden).

Scandinavism could possibly be born earlier if it is clear that the two lines will merge, but since that doesn't seem to be the case at first (there's still Christian VIII's brother to consider) it might not.
By the time it is starting to look like the kingdoms will be united the relations between them would change quite a bit, as would the relations between the Swedish and Norwegian goverments (IMO Norway would see it as a possible route to geting equal standing with.se and.dk within the future Union).
Charles XIV and Christian VIII were rivals for the throne of Norway, and I very much doubt the Charles would have been overjoyed to find that his son and heir had fallen for the only child of Christian.

 Oh - those Danes...!: Scandinavism (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
One of the rather interesting traits I have noticed in some of my Danish friends is the conviction that although Swedes are Swedes they are - when all is said and done - just like Danes.
This idea somehow took root in the brains of Danish and Swedish intellectuals in the 1840s and is called Scandinavism.
So when my Danish friend i Sweden invited me over to tell her pupils something about Denmark she suggested that I give them the digest of four talks I'll give to Danes over the next four weeks.

 Timelines - This Day in Alternate History
Massive demonstrations in Stockholm and Kristiania demand a Swedish entry into the war on Denmark's side, and thousands of Swedes and Norwegians form volunteer regiments, and join the war effort on the Danish side.
2 Swedish regiments are recieved jubilantly in Copenhagen, and Scandinavism is again on the rise in Denmark, having suffered during and after the war in 1864, where Sweden-Norway's "insufficient support" caused the movement to nearly die.
Already the rush of Scandinavism has overtaken large parts of the peoples of the three countries, and this time, unlike when the idea was mostly held by upper secondary graduates, a renewed Union between the three countries seems like a not entirely unreasonable possibility."

Some of the National-Liberal Slesviger-Holsteiner imagined that the two duchies were to be one independent state and other wanted both Slesvig and Holstein to join the German Confederation.
With the development of the national ideas in the Nordic countries - particulary in Denmark and Sweden - an image of a Nordic sense of community, the Scandinavism, developed.
In the begining the Scandinavism was predominantly cultural and literary and expressed by writers, students and others from the intelligentsia.
